Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1262396, member: 5233"]Let me jump back to the original question of this thread for a moment.  I have a thought.  For the most part...it has been established that coins from "evil empires" are just coins.  They don't have any evil in them...they were just produced and one could make an argument in some form that every country has "evil" ties in someone's eyes.  That said...I think there are certain coins that walk this line a little more than others.  Take for example this one, what do you think of it. This is a 1940-A 10 Reichpfennig Military Occupation Coin.  These coins were issued by the German government for circulation in conquered lands that were being occupied by the German Military.  So, this coin was minted because of the need for circulating German coinage in lands that Germany had invaded in the early part of WWII.  This is the only example I have in my collection...but I think this is a very ominous looking coin and for me it begins to walk the line.  IMHO, it's almost creepy looking. <img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/PICT0247.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/PICT0246.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
